The Chicago Mercantile Exchange Is home to hugely traded U.S.-based equity and interest rate futures and options products

On Wednesday floor trading will close as a mark of respect to former President George H. W. Bush.

Some Globex markets will open though. Hours differ between equity and interest rate futures. Curious.

More detail:
